HEAVEN is a place on Earth!


Did you know that a mama eagle will teach the eaglets to fly by lifting them and then dropping them off from a high altitude? If and when they loose their way, Daddy eagle circles nearby waiting to catch them if they forget to open their wings and start gliding. Eagle parents always have the best interest of the eaglets at heart even when it seems harsh.

My dear friends, sometimes when we face difficulties-we do not necessarily, see God. But that does not mean-He is not watching. Just like the eagle, God watches us from above and just at that moment, God will glide in and pick us up. I am sure; we all have experienced His amazing grace from time to time. Let us always remember-the God given moments, when God rescues us. Let us in our moments of trial, bring this to remembrance.


He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. John 15:2
Friend, God knows what you need in your life in order to grow and flourish. Sometimes when things happen that we don’t understand, we have to just trust that He is working behind the scenes preparing you to go to another level.
When you’re going through a trial or a change don’t get bitter and down and don’t start thinking that you’re a failure. Have the right attitude and belief that God has better plans for you. If you will accept the change and stay in faith, God will take you to another level of His glory!


I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing. John 15:5
If the branch is not attached to the vine, it withers and dies. The same thing happens if we try to operate in this life without Jesus. Without Him, we can do nothing. We are cut from our life source. But through prayer, and study of the Word, we can remain connected with God.
Much fruit-means you will have an abundant harvest in your life. God wants to overwhelm you with His goodness. Remain in Him today. Make God your top priority!


The Earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it...   Psalm 24:1
God wants you to live an abundant life! He wants you to enjoy the fullness of the earth and experience His goodness everywhere you go.
It’s easy for people to get stuck doing the same thing all the time. But when you open yourself to new people, new experiences and new ideas, you are making room for God to reveal Himself to you and work in different ways in your life.
Let God direct and broaden your horizons. Look for new opportunities to grow and stretch so you can live the life the Lord has in store for you!


...time and chance happen to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11
God has laid out a plan for your life. He has marked moments already laid out that are going to come across your path. These moments are God-given moments. They are designed to thrust you years ahead.
Ecclesiastes tells us that time and chance come together for every person. That means you will have the opportunities to fulfill your dreams.


And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
If we look to the Word of God, we see God’s definition of love. 1 Corinthians 13-tells us that “love is patient and kind. It does not envy, nor boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It does not seek its own way, is not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not rejoice in evil, but rejoices in the truth. Love believes, hopes and endures. Love never fails.” This is how God responds to us, and this is how we should respond to the people in our lives — with patience, kindness, hope, humility and love. God is love and God is always faithful.
God loves you with an everlasting love. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He is for you and has a good plan for you. Let Him transform you from the inside out. His love is the greatest love and will last throughout all eternity!


CONCLUSION: Those who wait upon the Lord … THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES. Isaiah 40:31. Eagles are the only species of bird that are known to fly up through the storm. Have you ever been able to fly over to God through all the storms of life to the land where the sun shines and there is nothing but blue skies? Are you peaceful in prayer when everything thing around you spells chaos? Find yourself  a prayer life that fills you with comfort and hope even when the storms rage all around you. Let Jesus be the calm amidst the storm!
Friends, today, open your eyes of faith and see the good things God has in store for your future. Thank Him for what He’s doing and what He’s about to do. Thank Him for divine connections because He is ready and willing to fulfill every dream and desire He’s placed within your heart!


REMEMBER: Love never can confuse you.
Love is truth-Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32.
Love is courage-to love and to sacrifice, always doing the Will of God.
Love is patience-to endure all trials.
Love is faith-that says nothing is impossible for my God.
Love is a hope-that says, that God can and will make us triumph.
Love my dear friends, is our greatest possession-it is the Cross of Christ-that we need to take pride in. As St. Paul says, ‘As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world's interest in me has also died.’
Love is my whole world. I am living my dream. Heaven is a place on Earth!  

 
PRAYER: Father, right now I take time to remember and acknowledge Your goodness in my life. I praise You because You are good. Thank You for loving me, thank You for setting me free. Thank You for pouring out Your blessings on me and leading me into everlasting life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
